GRE双语阅读材料:在非洲建立品牌效应

2018-04-13 15:09:00来源:网络

  Envoys for Unilever inSowetomake up to 100 house calls a day hawking Lipton teas, Knorr seasonings and other products from the firm's range.

  Soweto的联合利华的促销员们每天打将近100个家庭电话去推销立顿茶包、家乐调味品和其他的公司销售范围的产品。

  On a busy weekend TCC might have 10,000 promoters at work.

  在一个繁忙的周末里,可能会有10,000个销售员在工作。

  To manage this army requires hundreds of office staff and no little technology.

  要管理好这支队伍需要上百个公司员工和很大的技术投入。

  The firm thus employs an unusual mix of logistic and artistic people.

  因此公司雇佣了不同以往的擅长后勤与艺术性混搭的成员。

  On-the-ground intelligence about how a new campaign is faring is fed back to headquarters, so it can be tweaked if need be.

  当地的关于怎么进行新的商业策划的情报已经反馈到总部,因此如果需要的话,它的错误可以很快被纠正。

  Marketing types the world over know that word-of-mouth recommendations carry more punch than advertisements.

  全世界广泛知道销售类型里,口头上的推荐比广告推荐更有震撼性。

  This is especially true inAfrica, where the mass media are fragmented and brands less familiar.

  尤其在非洲更是如此。这里的大众媒体很零散,品牌让人不太熟悉。

  Shoppers on tight budgets can ill afford to make bad choices.

  手头紧张消费者们无法承担做出一个坏选择的后果。

  They value advice from peers and a chance to sample before they buy.

  他们很重视来自同辈的建议,重视在他们之前抽样检查的机会。

  And they repay such engagement with loyalty.

  而且他们会用忠诚回馈这样的契约。

  A survey last year by McKinsey, a consultancy, found that 59% of African grocery shoppers stuck with their favoured brands, compared with 38% that chose the cheapest deal on offer.

  咨询公司麦肯锡去年做过这样的调查,发现59%的非洲杂货店消费者们被迫接受他们最喜欢的品牌,而38%的人选择了最便宜的出售商品。

  Yet creating loyalty is only half of the battle.

  然而,营造了忠诚度只是战斗的一半。

  Brands must first be on the shelf before they can fly off it.

  第一步,品牌企业必须在脱手商品之前把商品摆在货架上。

  Around three-quarters of the money spent in Soweto is captured by informal traders, who sell from spazas (kiosks) and makeshift stalls, says G.G.

  花在Soweto的钱大约四分之三被一些被一些小的商人攫取,他们在报摊和临时摊位上做生意,Minanawe的老板G.G.Alcock说。

  Alcock, the boss of Minanawe, an agency that has built a big database of such outlets.

  这家机构已经建立了这样销售点的大数据库。

  TCC bought a stake in Minanawe in 2011.

  TCC于2011年给Minanawe奖金。

  It realised it had to devise marketing campaigns for informal traders in parallel with the promotions that it was aiming at consumers.

  它意识到它必须策划针对小商贩的市场销售方案,与目标定在消费者身上的促销同时使用。

  Even the biggest branded-goods firms see value in building links with the spazas.

  即使是最大的品牌公司也看到了与报摊销售点建立联系的商机。

  Minanawe advised Parmalat on such a campaign.

  Minanawe建议帕玛拉特进行这样的商业策略。

  The Italian dairy giant supplied branded menu boards and aprons toSoweto's informal food kiosks to promote the sale of its cheese slices in kotas, quarter-loaves of bread stuffed with chips and a variety of meats.

  这个意大利奶业巨头提供了印有品牌菜单的板子和围裙给Soweto的小型食物报亭销售点,目的是提高它旗下的kotas芝士切片的销量。Kotas是一种蛋糕切片,四分之一是薯片和不同的肉类填充的。

  The market is bigger than it might seem.

  市场比它可能看起来要大。

  Marks, the owner of a modest-looking fast-food spaza in Soweto, says he sells 2,400 kotas a day and spends 20,000 rand each morning on inGREdients at his wholesalers.

  Soweto的一位看起来很谦逊的快餐食品销售点店主Marks说,他一天卖2,400份Kotas,并且每天早上要花20,000兰特在供销商的食材上。

  He may not look it, but he is quite the big cheese.

  他可能看不到这点,但是他本身就是一块相当大的芝士。
